Of its 412.6 square miles, 409 are land and 3.6 are water, about 0.9<br \/>\npercent &mdash; the county has no large natural lake, and its main watercourses are the East<br \/>\nFork Little Miami River, Cowan Creek and Todd Fork, a tributary of the Little Miami River.<\/p>\n<p>Greene County lies to the north, Fayette County to the northeast, Highland County to the<br \/>\nsoutheast, Brown County to the south, Clermont County to the southwest, and Warren County to the<br \/>\nwest. <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/greene-county-ohio\/\">Greene County<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/fayette-county-ohio\/\">Fayette County<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/highland-county\/\">Highland County<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/brown-county-ohio\/\">Brown County<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/clermont-county\/\">Clermont County<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/townsvillages.com\/us\/warren-county-ohio\/\">Warren County<\/a> all border<br \/>\nClinton directly.<\/p>\n<h2>Demographics<\/h2>\n<p>Clinton County had a population of 42,018 at the 2020 census, and the latest estimate puts the<br \/>\ncounty near 42,301 residents. Wilmington and Blanchester are the two largest communities, together<br \/>\nholding roughly two-fifths of the county&rsquo;s population. Median household income runs<br \/>\n$67,769 statewide for Ohio, 2023 ACS; county-level income figures on record date to the 2010<br \/>\ncensus ($46,261 median household, $22,163 per capita) and are not repeated here as current.<br \/>\nPopulation density works out to roughly 103 people per square mile of land, low for southwest<br \/>\nOhio and consistent with the county&rsquo;s largely agricultural land use.<\/p>\n<h2>Economy &amp; Local Life<\/h2>\n<p>Wilmington anchors the county&rsquo;s economy. ABX Air operates a cargo hub at the Airborne<br \/>\nAirpark, a legacy of the site&rsquo;s decades as a DHL Americas air-freight base. CMH Regional<br \/>\nHealth System, built around Clinton Memorial Hospital, employs close to 1,000 people across the<br \/>\ncounty. The AZEK Company runs a composite-decking plant and a polyethylene recycling facility in<br \/>\nWilmington. Wilmington College, a liberal-arts school founded by Quakers in 1870, is the<br \/>\ncounty&rsquo;s largest private employer outside health care and logistics. The county&rsquo;s<br \/>\nbiggest annual event is the Wilmington Banana Split Festival each June, marking the dessert&rsquo;s<br \/>\ndisputed 1907 invention in the city; the Clinton County Corn Festival follows each September.<\/p>\n<h2>History<\/h2>\n<p>Ohio&rsquo;s General Assembly formed Clinton County on 19 February 1810, effective 1 March<br \/>\n1810, carving it from parts of Highland and Warren counties. It was named for George Clinton, a<br \/>\nsoldier, four-term governor of New York and vice president of the United States under Jefferson<br \/>\nand Madison. Wilmington was laid out as the county seat the same year.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton County has voted overwhelmingly Republican in nearly every presidential election since<br \/>\n1856; the only Democrat to carry it in that span was Lyndon Johnson in 1964, by a margin of just<br \/>\n432 votes. The county is included in the Cincinnati&ndash;Wilmington&ndash;Maysville combined<br \/>\nstatistical area, as part of the Wilmington micropolitan statistical area centred on its own<br \/>\ncounty seat.<\/p>\n<h2>Getting There<\/h2>\n<p>Interstate 71 crosses the county&rsquo;s northwest corner, reachable from Wilmington via State<br \/>\nRoute 73.
